40 Bible Verses on Anxiety from the NLT
We all have a desire for peace. Yet the tendency to feel anxious is often just as strong as our longing for security—if not stronger. It can feel overwhelming at times! As Christians, however, we have a personal relationship with the Prince of Peace, as Jesus is called in Isaiah 9:6. Through him, we have access to peace at all times. If we remember that and ask him for it, we anchor our minds in the truth that he is with us, helping us, even if our anxiety doesn’t go away immediately. Here are the top 40 Bible verses on anxiety and peace from the New Living Translation to calm your heart and remind you of God’s comfort.
